Computer stimulation of a rapidly rotating neutron star, specifically a pulsar with its accretion disk and rotating x-ray beam(s). The star is light blue, the accretion disk deep and deeper orange, and the x-rays a hazy white.

The WSJ had a fascinating article yesterday on Prof. Ken Ono and the burgeoning usage of AI in pure mathematics –conjectures and such. Gaffed photos of the Moon I don’t need.

The ergonomic tertiary unit, which I have named the "tert", is
5 minutes 35.5 seconds, which fits in nicely. Whether I can come up with an ambient hex triplet clock is another matter.
Time for Python again.

1.318359375 seconds and 21.09375 s, respectively, the hex hour = 1.5 hours, and the hex day, of course, equals 24 hours. See the problem?
Well, in hex those time units are 1, 10, 1000, and 10,000. Do the math. It is only mapped onto sexagesimal units, curse the Babylonians.

A hexadecimal second is 1.318359375 base 60 seconds
–obviously far superior.
